I only had the chance to see Evan once, after the band concert in December.  What I saw was how much he was adored by all.  Watching his family hold and cherish him was a special kind of gift.  I grieve the memories that won't be had - watching the marching band finish practice, directing the band with flapping arms, and squealing with delight from a gaggle of high school kids that adore him.  I hurt for the love to be had with his parents and family.  

Amanda and Andy, we are so sorry for your loss. 

Grace, peace, and love-
David, Winn, Thomas, and Matthew Wheeler

Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. We are so sorry for your loss and are praying for continued comfort and strength.  Blessings to your heavenly angels. 


Amanda and Andy, everybody we all ever meet changes our lives in some way.  You have inspired all of us and brought us closer to each our own families.  You have our deepest sympathies and we grieve for your loss.  Know that it is God’s plan, through Faith in Christ, to raise those that are his and give them resurrection bodies that are like Christ’s.  There will be great joy when you both see Evan and Mark again in those wonderful bodies that will never sicken and be free of the curses we endure today.  May the Lord  give you strength and comfort until the day of His coming.

Andy and Amanda,
Your unconditional love for your children flows through you and is a true testament of how amazing you both are. Evan and Mark are in Heaven together and we're sure they're sharing that love you have taught to them with each other. Our thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathy are with you, your family, and everyone Mark and Evan have touched. We will continue to pray for you all in the days, months, and years ahead. 

Amanda and Andy , my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family ! Evan has touched more people in his brief time on this earth than you will ever know . Sweet little Evan fought so hard and I feel Mark was with him all the way and when he couldn’t fight any longer , Mark carried Evan to his Heavenly Home.  May you find comfort knowing your boys are together and you will see them again . You and Andy are so loved and prayers continue daily for you both . 

There are not many individuals who can rally so many people to pray, love and support but Evan did exactly that in his life. We are grateful for the joy he brought to his family and all who loved him.  

I loved walking into my house after work on a Saturday and there was Evan lying in the floor asleep.  I have to say, I might have awakened him a little so I could hold him.  Thank you for sharing him with us.  

From the first time I got to hold you buddy, I knew you were special. I saw how your daddy held you and how your mom gently smiled at the thought of you. Evan, you are an answer to prayer. You were such a wonderful gift for them and at a much needed time. I’m thankful for what you taught my dear friends in your short time with us. You taught your dad how to love and treasure people deeply in a time in his life where I thought he had mastered this gift. I saw you teach your mom how to push through. I’ve seldom met a woman with her kind of strength. You have made her stronger. You showed them what it meant to be brave when faced with unreal challenge. Thanks for loving your parents well. They mean a lot to me and I’m thankful for how your life has made them better and even easier to love.

Amanda & Andy,
  When no words seem good enough, I’d like to share a prayer instead.  It’s from a book that I love, and it’s a prayer I will be praying over you guys.
   “Dear Lord ,
...when my brain begs me to doubt you  God—as it most certainly does—I find relief for my unbelief by laying down my human assessments and assumptions. I turn from the tree of knowledge and fix my gaze on the tree of life. Let my soul be cradled by Your divine assurance. Your Son. Who completely understands. And who will walk me through every step of this if I keep my focus on Him.”

We love you guys.

Dear Andy & Amanda,

Our deepest sympathies extend to you and your family. We are so sorry for your loss and are praying for comfort and strength. 

Chad & Amy Acklin 

Amanda and Andy,
I don’t think we have ever met. I know you took lessons, Amanda, from my dear brother, Dallas.
I have been aware of your tragic losses of Mark and Evan. I realize there is really nothing I can say to you, except you are being thought of by people you don’t even know, and just send you our deepest sympathies. I pray for strength and peace. 
Nancy 🙏

Dearest Evan,
I only knew you a short time but you have a place in my heart forever right next to your brother. 
I love you,
Ms. Jen 

Evan, your time with us was short, but our memories are many.  Your smile was infectious and your burps would make any Dad proud.  We will have to delay our shenanigans until I see you again.  Please hug my buddy and tell him thank you for the extra time.
Love always,
Ms. Christine


Amanda and Andy, sending you much love, prayers, and good vibes. 

Much, much love and prayers from Tracey and I during this most difficult time. 

Evan- though your time here on earth was far to short, you will remain in our hearts forever. You fought the good fight and you were the toughest little guy we know!! Give Mark a hug and a kiss again. We love you! Until we meet again. Love, Uncle Hank and Aunt Mandy 

I miss you Evan! I’m so glad we get to share a birthday!! Say hi to Mark for me!! I love you!! 

Evan fought such a hard battle and was so brave. He is such a special little boy and I know he’s with his big brother Mark now keeping you all safe. I love you Buchholz family. 

Evan, you were with us for a short time but you're a part of our hearts forever.  We love you and will miss you all the days of our lives.  You fought like our little warrior and now it's time to rest in peace.  Give Markie a kiss from grandma and grandpa and watch over your mommy and daddy and all of us from heaven.  Love you, little man...……            Grandma and Grandpa W.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. May you have peace knowing Evan is free of his suffering. I’m sure Mark was greeting him with open arms. God bless. 

Andy, Amanda, and family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Please remember you have incredible people surrounding you who are there to help and support you when you need someone to talk to.  If there is anything we can do please don't hesitate to reach out.  Sending lots of love to you all.

Your boys will forever have each other in heaven. They will share with each other how much their mother and father means to them and how much they miss you all. We will continue to pray for your family. Your boys will always look over you. 

May our good Lord comfort you as he is holding Evan in his arms now and forever.  Amen

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I don't know you personally but I get updates on all from a parent of a band member. May God give you peace and comfort at this time. 

It was such a pleasure to care for Evan! May you find peace and comfort knowing he is with his big brother in the arms of Jesus!

All of you are in our daily thoughts and prayers. Point Pleasant Christian Church has been lifting the entire family up over the last 4 weeks and will continue to pray for comfort. 
Pastor Carla D'Alessio, Point Pleasant Christian Church, Eminence, KY
